Jeremaya 19
1 Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Jee, zụta otu ite aja site nʼaka ọkpụ ite. Duru ụfọdụ nʼime ndị okenye na ndị nchụaja,
Thus said Jehovah: Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,
2 jee na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, nke dị nso nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Ejuju dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ. Nọdụ nʼebe ahụ kwupụtara ha okwu ndị m gwara gị.
and go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee.
3 Sị ha, ‘Nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị, unu ndị eze Juda, na ndị Jerusalem. Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru. Geenụ ntị! Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị ala a, ụdị ihe ọjọọ ga-eme ka ntị ọbụla nụrụ ya zụọ wuruwuru.
And say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.
4 Nʼihi na ha ahapụla m, mee ka ebe a ghọọ nke chi ndị mba ọzọ. Ha achụọla aja nsure ọkụ nʼime ya nye chi ndị ahụ ha na nna nna ha, maọbụ ndị eze Juda, na-amaghị. Ha ejirila ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha mejupụta ebe a.
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
5 Ha ewuola ebe ịchụ aja dị elu nye chi Baal. Nʼelu ya kwa ka ha na-esure ụmụ ha dịka aja nye Baal, bụ nke m na-enyeghị nʼiwu, ekwughịkwa m ya, o nwekwaghị mgbe o ji bata m nʼobi.
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither did it come into my mind.
6 Ya mere, kpacharanụ anya, nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ na-abịa, ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri, mgbe ndị mmadụ agaghị akpọkwa ebe a Tofet ma ọ bụkwanụ Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, kama a ga-akpọ ya Ndagwurugwu Ogbugbu.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter.
7 “‘Nʼebe a ka m ga-anọ laa nzube niile nke Juda na Jerusalem nʼiyi. Aga m eme ka ha daa site na mma agha nʼihu ndị iro ha, nʼaka ndị ahụ na-achọsi ndụ ha ike. Aga m enye ụmụ anụ ufe na anụ ọhịa ozu ha dịka nri.
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place. And I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. And I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 Aga m ebibi obodo a mee ka ọ ghọọ ihe iju anya na ihe ịma ọsụ. Ndị niile na-esi nʼakụkụ ya agafe ga-anọ nʼọnọdụ iju anya, ha ga-eledakwa ya anya nʼihi ọnya ya niile.
And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues of it.
9 Aga m emekwa ka ha rie anụ ahụ nke ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Ha ga-erikwa anụ ahụ ibe ha, nʼihi na ndị iro ha ga-agba ha gburugburu nọchibido ha nʼime oke mkpagbu ka ha bibie ndụ ha.’
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. And they shall eat each one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them.
10 “Kụwaa ite ahụ mgbe ndị gị na ha so nọ na-ele gị anya.
Then thou shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with thee,
11 Gwa ha sị, ‘Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile sịrị: Aga m etipịa mba a na obodo a, dịka ite aja nke ọkpụ ite a si daa tipịasịa nʼụzọ a na-apụghị imezikwa ya ọzọ. Ha ga-eli ndị nwụrụ anwụ na Tofet tutu ruo mgbe ohere na-agaghị adịkwa ili ozu ọzọ.
and shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Even so I will break this people and this city, as a potter's vessel is broken, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
12 Ihe dị otu a ka m ga-eme nʼebe a, meekwa ndị bi na ya. Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. Aga m eme obodo a ka ọ dịrị ka Tofet.
Thus I will do to this place, says Jehovah, and to the inhabitants of it, even making this city as Topheth.
13 Ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem na ụlọ niile nke ndị eze Juda ka a ga-emerụ dịka ebe a, bụ Tofet, otu a ka a ga-esi merụọkwa ụlọ niile a suree ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼelu ha nye usuu niile nke eluigwe, wụsakwara chi ndị ọzọ ihe ọṅụṅụ dịka onyinye.’”
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.
14 Mgbe Jeremaya si na Tofet, ebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị zigara ya ibu amụma lọta, o guzoro nʼogige ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ahụ, gwa ndị mmadụ niile okwu sị ha,
Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,
15 “Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, onye bụ Chineke nke Izrel sịrị, ‘Geenụ ntị! Ana m aga ime ka ihe ọjọọ ahụ m kwuru okwu ya bịakwasị obodo a, na obodo nta niile gbara ya gburugburu, nʼihi na ha bụ ndị isiike, ndị jụrụ ige ntị nʼokwu m.’”
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
